La città di carta – virtual museum

La città di carta is a prototype of a literary virtual museum of Trieste.
The project hinges on the writer Italo Svevo case study, focuses on his relationship with his city and comprises two sections

Svevo Digital Archive
Svevo Virtual Tour

Its goal is “to make visual a literary museum ” .

Graphs, arcs or other visualizations resulted from Sentiment, Network and Topic Analysis on Svevo correspondence aim to enable the users to get a comprehensive bird’s eye view of Italo Svevo’s personal and intellectual relationship networks.
The connection between the digital archive, the museum collections and the Svevo literary tour in the town is virtually implemented through Augmented Reality techniques,  giving the visitors the possibility to surf from one site to the other.

Such a new point of view allows both the on-line user and the visitor – in the museum and in the city of Trieste – to visually  “exploit” Svevo’s wider historic and cultural environment.
